SPACE IN INDIE ISLAND IS A CURATED SECTION OF ARTIST ALLEY AND IS POPULATED ON AN INVITATION ONLY BASIS.

We consider every artist's body of work on an individual basis and allow that to inform our Indie Island selections each year. What this REALLY MEANS is that our Indie Island is unique every year, and is always filled with incredible Indie Artists!

If you are interested in reserving an Artist Alley table at the Heroes Con, please refer to this page.

You can find the HeroesCon Featured Guest list here, and a list of all those who purchased space in Artists Alley here.

We will update this list right up to the convention itself! Some guests may not appear every day of the convention.

Newest additions will appear in red, as well as being announced on our blog and in our weekly newsletter.
